Nice news!!! It's going to be my first dismeet. I only hope you'll understand my brazilian accent....I told my son, who looked at me as I was crazy or something ( well, these types of "mom you are really weird" looks doesn't affect me anymore , he's a teenager after all...).I'm sure we are going to like POP, I've stayed at the Contemporary ( 3 times), Polynesian,Dolphin ( in my honeymoon), Port Orleans and All Star Movies and I liked them all !Are you staying at POP too? Do you have a favorite building?We will definitely see you then. We will be there October 5-13. I hope you enjoy being at Pop, and now there is the plus of being able to walk over and see Art of Animation, too. That's something I like about being at any of the All Stars - there are three different resorts to see, enjoy, and photograph.
You know how I have talked about doing a Disney Water Features collage for a few years now? Well, how 'bout we look at water in Disney World this morning? They are not all water fountains, and in some the water is not the main feature really, but it may just have a subtle role in the scene. There aren't a lot. I was just scrolling through some albums and came across these. Hope you enjoy the sights and sounds of Disney water this morning.
Does this count?
Raise your hand if you could picture yourself at any of those places. What were you feeling, hearing, smelling, seeing?
Did it make you smile?
I hope so. Have a good day, dear friends!
I love the breakfast pics! Too bad I can't just go get some right now. It is fun to imagine though.
Well I'm kinda in need of some Disney mojo to get me on my way to work this morning.
I was up early and took my DMom and Lexi to the airport.
They are off to my Gramma's for 2 weeks. (I will miss them terribly )
Well maybe not that much...more like
I know they will have a great time.
They have a long layover today so they are going to visit the zoo to pass the time.
It was the only flight available on short notice and there aren't many flights that even go that far up north.
My Gramma is 94 and she has had a few heath issues lately and my DMom just wants to go see how she is.
My Gramma has been very fortunate and has been very healthy up til now.
She even still drives.
We all can sympathize with Jill. She should take some time for herself.
Oh, I bet she is excited getting things ready for Sophie.
And back to school shopping is fun too!
Thanks for the pick me up Memom.
I guess I need to drag my bones off to work and make some money.
I think Vero sounds lovely! You would have a blast!
I looked at Gaitlinburg...17 hrs drive. I'm not ruling it out completely because I can drive that far in a day. (same time to Myrtle Beach)
If I can find cheap flights, I may consider it.
I could combine a beach trip with it, hmmm something to ponder. I havn't been to Myrtle Beach in a while.
If not you can count on me seeing you next Christmas!!!
Yeah, we'll make it. We're just very much happier when we can make three trips a year. We're only doing two this year - the summer one and an October one. In no way am I getting tired of Disney World, but I know Brooklynn would really like going to Sea World, and we have this opportunity to go to Vero, so we have some non-Disney and not too expensive options.
What dates are you thinking about for December 2013?
Probably the day after Christmas- New Year's Day or so dependng on school. We still haven't made it to Sea World either. We did go to Universal last Aug and that was fun. We went to Vero in 2006, they day after Tropical Storm Alberto, so Vero wasn't in it's prime.....but we still had fun!! I want to go back sometime.
Always good to have you visit, Scott.
Are you there on the night of the 12th? We're going to try to meet up with Katie that evening before her castle meal. Would that work for you, maybe?
The first time we met Henry, he was asleep, but don't forget, we did meet him when he was awake!
Yes, we'll probably do Christmas to a day or two after NY, just depending on how that falls. I have to look at a calendar. We have gotten good flight prices on Christmas Day, and it's a fun time to fly in. We have a very low-key and simple Christmas morning, and then head out. It makes it nice for Jill because Santa doesn't have to buy a lot, and they don't need a lot.
Pencil in the date, then! If anyone knows of some good places to stay up there, I'm up for ideas, and I will ask around here, as well.
This is OT, but where do you turn off of I-95 when you go to Myrtle Beach? If you get on I-40, you will come near where I live!! Just curious!

The water pictures are beautiful! I could picture myself in several of those places.
Love all the water photos! Made for a very magical morning! I'll have to get a photo of the water "feature" outside my window right now for you. We are 150 yards from the edge of Lake Huron.
I think it would be a good possibility that we could be there. A lot would depend on when youth camps are next year. If they stay on a similar schedule as this year, we should be able to come.
Love the breakfast and the water pictures. I think the fountains in EPCOT are some of my favorites (especially when my girls are standing in front of them).
I love Disney water!
Great bkfst and water pics! There are so many unique water features to e seen. I am sad we will miss you guys=we arrive on the 13th....
Oh, how I wish I was there now!
Nice news!!! It's going to be my first dismeet. I only hope you'll understand my brazilian accent....I told my son, who looked at me as I was crazy or something ( well, these types of "mom you are really weird" looks doesn't affect me anymore , he's a teenager after all...).I'm sure we are going to like POP, I've stayed at the Contemporary ( 3 times), Polynesian,Dolphin ( in my honeymoon), Port Orleans and All Star Movies and I liked them all !Are you staying at POP too?

I loved playing "name that water feature"
I am sure Jillyb and I could make the trip.
Only time I went up we all went camping. Lots of nice places to stay there.
This is OT, but where do you turn off of I-95 when you go to Myrtle Beach? If you get on I-40, you will come near where I live!! Just curious!
I would also like to go in Oct sometime and do MNSSHP.
Looks like we have a Christmas 2013 Dismeet plan in the works already!!! Nothing like planning early!!!!!
Hi, we usually get off I-95 and take SC-38, then US-501 to North Kings Hwy.
You are very lucky to get to live near the beach.
I've been going to Myrtle Beach since I was a child and I love it. My parents were die hard golfers, enough said.
I would go anytime...but Disney World is still my first love.
I'm kinda excited to daydream about a possible quick trip there next summer.
My DMom and Lexi have given their thumbs up already.
It would be a fun time if Memom & BrooklynnsMommy were to join us for some beach time.
Ahhhh....your Disney water pics are awesome! I can picture myself in any of those places.
One of my all time favorites is the Poly waterfall! I love the smell of the water and the flowers are so pretty.
The tropical feel is so captivating and I am truly happy standing there and just soaking it all in.
No trip is ever complete without a visit there.
I got our Mickey mail today!!! The trip is getting close.
Soon I will be able to be in your pics. Can't wait!
I know Brooklynn & Bella would love Sea World. I would recommend it.
Are you sure you could be that close and not go to WDW? I don't think I could do it.
Oh, Disney Water love it and what beautiful pictures of the water you have there! Really did make me smile today. How I wish I could be in any of those places! Thanks MeMom!
Good to see you here, buddy! Glad we could bring you a smile. If you could only pick one of those pictures to jump into, which would it be?
I'd like to ask you all to keep a couple of families in your thoughts and prayers in the days ahead. The lady that has been sitting at the other end of my pew at church for the last several years died this week. She was a sweet, unassuming lady named Muriel in real life, but to the country music world, her name was Kitty Wells. Some of you from the southern states have heard of her, I'm sure. Her husband, Johnnie Wright, sang with her. He died last fall. They had kids and grandkids who grew up going to the same school my kids grew up in. Keep her family in your prayers as they grieve their loved one.
Also, keep in mind the lady that sits behind me. Her name is Cheryl. Her husband has been sick off and on for years, and the only troubles she has had is knee issues. She found out while I was gone to Florida that she has inoperable cancer in her stomach. She said the first thing she thought of when they told her was how fast Joan was gone. She's concerned about her grandchildren, because her son has already died and she helps with his children and with her daughter's children. Losing her will leave a huge void for this family. She's concerned about her husband being sick and alone. This is a very giving couple who met when they were both living in an 'orphan home', so they have grown up together.
As always, we don't know when our time will come to leave this earth, so let's make the best and the most of the opportunities we have to live and love and give and serve. Thank you for your friendships that brighten our lives daily!
Are you there on the night of the 12th? We're going to try to meet up with Katie that evening before her castle meal. Would that work for you, maybe?
